Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Expedition TM Elite blue AE1009-XE 1-person inflatable kayak (AE1009-XE)

AdvancedFrame® Expedition Elite represents a new quality in the world of inflatable kayaks. It is a hybrid of a folding and inflatable kayak, combining the advantages of both types. The Expedition design is based on proven elements, such as an aluminum rib frame placed at the bow and stern, as well as Drop Stitch technology in the floor, which together guarantee paddling efficiency comparable to hard-hull kayaks.

The aluminum ribs and Drop Stitch floor work together to provide exceptional performance on the water. The ribs shape the hull, which efficiently cuts through the water, while the Drop Stitch floor delivers unmatched stiffness in an inflatable construction, forming the lower hull line.

The low center of gravity provides impressive stability, as well as facilitates maneuvering and paddling. Thanks to nine chambers, the kayak features excellent buoyancy and a unique shape that offers extraordinary paddling experiences.

Other features include inflatable coamings for spray skirt attachment, molded rubber handles, and a hard bow and stern edge. The kayak’s seams are welded for additional durability, and bungee cords provide secure gear attachment. The option to add the AdvancedTrak™ AE4005 kayak rudder kit increases the kayak’s functionality.

Comfort during paddling is ensured by neoprene ankle guards and an adjustable foot brace. A huge storage compartment allows for carrying extra gear. Additionally, the kayak is equipped with reinforced bow and stern, a tracking fin, and D-ring mounts.
